Advances in Neural Controlled Differential Equations
Many real-world systems evolve continuously, yet most machine learning models interpret time series as discrete sequences. Continuous-time approaches instead treat time series as samples from an underlying input path, a formulation that naturally accommodates irregularly sampled or oversampled data. Among these, Neural Controlled Differential Equations (NCDEs) are a maximally expressive class of models that parametrise a vector field using a neural network and evolve their hidden state by solving a dynamical system driven by the input path. NCDEs typically use a non-linear vector field, so the
